The remedy I have used very successfully to treat this common ailment which affects over 80% of the population who are over 60 years of age is Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
The majority of patients who have taken this remedy have reported that they observed relief within 36 hours after taking the first dose.
Quite frankly I do not know how this remedy helps to control the pain and eventually cure Arthritis as I do not have the knowledge to do so. All I can state is that about 90% of the patients who use this simple remedy have confirmed that they were helped while many were cured of their chronic Arthritis.
I might mention here that some patients who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis have also been helped by this same therapy but I cannot vouch for their reports.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
To BBG
I note that you experienced pain in your left knee suddenly just 3 months ago. It is very likely that this may be due to some severe pressure which your knee joint would have experienced like from a jump when the cartilage can tear if you have not maintained yourself in good shape with regular exercise. Please note that it is very important that you commence on a regular exercise program after you knee has healed in your own interest. Walking is excellent but at your age you can slowly go up to a jog.
You may like to know that at age 82 I exercise daily for at least 45 minutes and sometimes do a slow jog for a few minutes around my garden in Colombo where I live. I also use an exercise cycle when the weather is bad or like today when the IPL Cricket matches are on right now when the Exercise cycle is very convenient.
Please STOP all other remedies that you are taking today as you have already seen that they have not helped you so far.
You can use the following remedies instead in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Argentum Metallicum 6c…….. To rebuild the Cartilage by increasing the supply of blood to the 2 bones, the Femur and the Tibia through which the Cartilage is repaired. It is interesting to note that there are no blood vessels in the Cartilage.
Arnica 30c ….. To increase the flow of blood throughout the body and to the damaged Cartilage.
It is essential that you rest your knee as this is part of the curative therapy. Bed rest is ideal but if this is not convenient you can use a Crutch to take the weight off your knee.
If all goes well you should experience relief in 2-3 days but it may take a few more days for your knee to heal as this will depend on how bad the injury to your cartilage is.
Please report progress weekly on my website.
Sir,
Thanks.
I am to get Argentum Metallicum from Delhi. As per ur advice i will start to take the medicines from Monday as follows:-
1) Argentum Metallicum-6c in Wet dose, Two times a day,
2) Arnica-30c in wet dose, two times a day.
Well i was not into the habit of doing in any exercise, however use to take a brisk walk of 3 Km. per day in the morning hours, that too has been stopped for last three months due to pain in Left Knee Joint on walking, resulted in Wt. gain of 4-5 Kg. I will start the exercise (mild) for flexibility & strengthening the diff. parts of the body, & will start morning walk.Thanks.
With regards& wishes for good health,

To Gupta
I note that you have increased your weight by about 5 Kg during the past 3 months due to lack of exercise.
You can use Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets taken thrice daily immediately after meals to help you to reduce your weight which should drop by about 1 Kg per week even without exercise.
You should hopefully discover that your Osteo Arthritis should respond in a week when you should be able to resume your daily walk as long as you do not experience any added pain and discomfort to your joints.
Report your weight loss weekly.
To Tej
The remedy that will reduce your weight is Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets taken twice daily immediately after each of 3 meals. You can expect a reduction of up to 1kg per week but this depends on your present weight, presuming that you are overweight.
Report your weight reduction in 2 weeks.
To Tej
It is obvious that you are overweight and in your own interest it is essential that you do everything to reduce it ASAP as it may have some bearing on your Thyroid problem.
You must be warned that Nat Phos 6x will only work to reduce weight if the patient does not take other drugs during this period. One exception however is Arnica which you can take in the Wet dose twice daily.
It is essential that the patient cooperated by controlling your diet and also exercising daily to sweat it out.

Sir,
I am 5’5 and my weight is 82 kg as I am suffering from PCOD. Pls suggest me how I can reduce my weight.
Manika
You state that you are suffering from PCOD but you wish to be treated for Obesity,
I believe that you are not aware that your Obesity is due to your PCOD and unless steps are taken to treat this condition you cannot expect to reduce your weight.
If you would like me to treat your PCOD please indicate your assent and I shall list the remedies that can help it.
Please note however that PCOD is NOT a disease that can be treated in a few weeks or months and it will involve using remedies for months on end to treat it.
It would be helpful if you can copy any reports you have got from your Gynecologist on your condition to give me some indication of the depth of your disease.
I have been reading about your cures and have suggested them to many people. I rally need your help with my case and that of my son aged 24. 6 months age I developed severe pain in my left knee and entire left leg. Misdiagnosed initially with sciatica I was put on rest. I used to walk 5 kilometres a day. The recent correct diagnosis is arthritis of the knee with osteochondroital defect, stage 2, i.e. diminished cartillage. The rest resulted in fybromyalgia. I was given a sleep aid because sleep was impaired. Fybromyalgia has improved but is still concentrated in the left entire leg, pain behind knee and ankle joint and tibia. I took rhus tox 6 c twice a day for a month and that is what helped my fibromyalgia. I tried Ruta 6 c for a week, twice a day for my knee but not much help. From tomorrow I will be starting your system of argentum metallicum 30 c in the wet dose once a day and arnica 30 c at night. Argentum met 6 c not available in Pakistan. I hope this regimen will help. Apart from that I plan to take symphytum 200 once a week and rhus tox 200 once a week. I have been practising homeopathy for a few years and planning to get my degree.
My son has repeated shoulder dislocations in both arms. I have been giving him ruta 30 once a day. Initially ofcourse I started with arnica. He has to have operations because his is eroded with repeated dislocations. The diagnoses is of loose ligaments. I also mean to start him on argentum metallicum 30 c for building cartillage in the shoulder. After every couple of weeks I try to give him calcarea Fluor 1m.
Are you in concurrence with my plan for my own cartillage repair and my sons condition? Ofcourse my son is averse to homeopathy but I am trying my best. Since ruta and physio, his condition is better but last dislocation was not going back in without help of a doc so they are suggesting operation.
Shaista
I do not know if you are M or F and also what your age is. I shall presume that you are F and are around 45 years old. Are you overweight?
I cannot believe that Arg Met 6c is NOT available in the whole of Pakistan. This potency is essential to help rebuild cartilage. You can also use 3c which is even better. All in the Liquid Dilution.
If you plan to use my therapy do not use the 2 other remedies you have listed for a month.
Your son’s dislocation of his shoulder repeatedly is serious and he cannot possibly go through life with this condition. Surgery is the only recourse.
You can give him Arnica 30c in the Wet dose twice daily for a week prior to surgery and every 2 hours immediately after on the first day and every 3 hours on the second and taper it out to just twice daily thereafter. You will notice that the pain post surgery is controlled in a manner equal to the analgesics they use.
Dear doc joe,
I have ordered the argentum metallicum 6 c. It will take a few weeks. Because of extreme pain, I started using the arg. Met. In 30 c in wet dose twice a day and arnica 30 c. Should I continue? It seems to help for a while although walking a couple of miles daily in the park causes aggravation.
Are u suggesting I order the arg. Met. In 3c or did u mean 30? I have pinned all my hopes on you so am clarifying. Also, until I get the 3 or 6 do you advise me to continue with the 30c?
I feel relieved that you are frank enough to suggest the surgery for my son. we still have a month for that. Is there any homeopathic medicine that will correct the erosion of bone and help repair the cartillage and loose ligaments.
I will try and give him the arnica. He seems the perfect candidate for it anyway. He keeps saying his bed is too hard while it is not.
Thank you doc Joe. You are a homeopath in the true spirit! Eager to help others in pain and not even asking for the pay. I am hopeful about getting better. I hope the arnica also helps with my hair loss. By the way your right. I am a female, 50 years of age. I am not fat but yes plump. Should lose about 15 to 20 pounds. I do plan to try your remedy of nat. Phos 6x but I thought I should wait and not let anything interfere with the arg. Met. And arnica.
Many thanks and prayers for you and your family.
Shaista.
Shiasta
You can continue to take the Arg Met 30c for a few weeks and report your response. I have prescribed the 6c as some of my patients reported that this potency was more effective than the 30c but since you already have it, you can use it with the Arnica 30c as prescribed twice daily leaving about half hour between each remedy.
You reported acute pain in your joints and I presume in your knees. You can also add Hypericum 200c in the Wet dose which you can take every 4 hours. You should notice that your pain should reduce in about 20 minutes after you have taken the first dose. Please report your findings for my records.
You will add Nat Phos 6x dose 3 tablets taken immediately after each of 3 meals daily to reduce your weight. Record your weight and report your weekly reduction which should be at least 1kg per week. If your weight does not reduce as it has done with other patients, this can be due to the Arg Met 30c which you must take to help it to increase the thickness of the Cartilage in your knees.
You will of course actively cooperate by eating smaller meals and avoiding all fats.
You can also share the same therapy with your son and observe how his shoulder responds.
Dear doc Joe,
As for the pain in my joints, it is a throbbing pain behind my knee which is where the cartillage is diminished. Also it extends to my thigh, down my calf and is most excruciating in the ankle joint of the same left leg. This has all been there for the past 6 months since the cartillage injury possibly because of carrying a heavy load on one day when all this started. My husband thinks the ankle pain may be because of my awkward walking stile since the onset of the arthritis. Certainly it is aggravated after my daily walk of 2 miles in the park. Do you suggest I start using a stationary bike instead?
I am not so comfortable using the hypericum since whenever I have taken it in the past, I immediately have a burning rash on my face. Would ruta 6 be helpful for the ankle pain?
Befor consulting you I have also tried Reckeweg R 73 which contains arg. Met. And R 11 which contains rhus tox. Rhus tox agrees very well with me because of the fibromyalgia.
I am bothering you with all this information at this initial stage but hope to be off your back soon. Presently, I am taking arg. Met 30 twice a day in the wet dose as well as arnica 30. I have also bought the natrum phos 6 x. May I take the ruta for my ankle as well?
If arg. Met. 3 c is available in another city, should I send for it and use it instead of the 30?
Thank you for your prompt replies. I am so grateful. Our national poet Iqbal wrote in Urdu. This is prayer, this is religion, this is faith. That in this world man should be helpful to one another.
Most sincerely,
Shaista

You will please STOP all exercise for a week or longer to enable the cartilage to regrow internally. Bed rest is best if you can afford the luxury. Walking 2 miles daily must be stopped and I was not aware that this is your normal daily exercise routine. Your ankle pain is not directly connected to arthritis but your husband’s observation that it may be due to your awkward gait is perhaps the answer. I was not aware that you were suffering from acute arthritis which resulted after carrying some heavy weight. The pain you now have is directly connected to the lack of lubrication between the joints which is provided by the cartilage and you must permit the Arg Met to promote it to grow back again in a manner that any drug or other Homeopathic remedy cannot do.
You must be patient and take all the load off the knee and STOP all unnecessary walking.
How old are you and what is your weight and height? If you are overweight you can use Nat Phos 6x to reduce your weight but this is a shy remedy and does not usually work if the patient is taking other remedies. Arnica however does not seem to hinder it from working to reduce weight.
Use a recumbent stationary cycle instead as the pressure is not on the joint and you will still get the exercise. I use a True recumbent exercise cycle in my home every evening for half hour and do not have any arthritis or other impediment.
I note that you are taking Argentum Metallicum 30c. I prescribed 6c as I have found some years ago that the 6 is more effective than the 30. I have not prescribed the 3c but if this is not available, you must stop the 30 and use the 6c. Stop all other combination remedies if you are using them today. You must use the Arnica 30c as prescribed. The 2 remedies work jointly to heal Artthrhtis.
List ALL remedies you are taking today and the frequency.
Thank you for that quote from Poet Iqbal. He has epitomized my philosophy as I pray through healing all who seek my assistance.
I am convinced that God heals me in return by maintaining me in my state of wellness at age 83.
Dear doc Joe,
You asked me to list all the meds I am taking. Since Monday 11th I have started arg. Met. 30 twice a day and arnica 30 once in the night as it makes me sleepy. All in wet dose. From tomorrow God willing I will get arg. Met. 6 from somewhere. It is a Swiss company. I have also started the natrum phos 6x. I have been put on a light sleep aid 10 mg of amitriptilline because of my fibromyalgia.
When I first wrote to you I mentioned that I had the knee cartillage degeneration as well as fibromyalgia which started because of the extended rest period. My body is used to the exercise. Since today as per your instructions I have stopped walking in the park and am using the stationary bike. I also told you that it was the rhus tox 6 c that had helped my fibromyalgia. Having taken that for a month I was asking you if I could substitute that for the ruta 6c which might also take care of my ankle pain.
Anyway, presently I am only on the meds I have mentioned in the first paragraph of this post. By and by I hope to get of the amitriptilline with the help of the arnica. Apparantly the sleep disorder along with the trigger pain points are sure shot symptoms of the fibromyalgia which is better now. Since a month I gave up the anti inflammatories for the arthritis and am eager to recover completely with your remedy.
Thanks and God bless

I was concerned to learn that you are taking Amitriptyline together with my medication. I fear that this powerful drug will antidote the Homeopathic remedies I have prescribed for you and have to inform you that I am only wasting my time if you continue to take them in the future.
Here is an article on this drug:
Why is this medication prescribed?
Amitriptyline is used to treat symptoms of depression. Amitriptyline is in a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain that are needed to maintain mental balance.
Do you have symptoms of Depression?
Is there any valid reason for your doctor/s to prescribe this drug for your Fibromyalgia?
Please make up your mind if you wish to continue with my therapy and STOP all other drugs you are taking currently.
Dear doc Joe,
The amitriptilline was prescribed to me because I would wake up repeatedly at night which was a symptom of fibromyalgia. It was prescribed 3 months ago by Dr huskissan in London. He is a published rheumatologist. He said I have 2 problems. Firstly the dismissed cartillage arthritis in my knee and the fibromyalgia. I asked him the same question as yours about the amytriptilline. He said it is used for depression in a very high dose, 100 or 150 mg but at 10 mg it is merely a sleep aid to be used for a minimum of 3 months until I am over the fibromyalgia. This has abated somewhat.
I am very concerned about relieving my arthritis. I am in great pain, yet I have given up my anti inflammatory for more than a month. It you touch the side of my left knee it is warmer than my right. When I take a little turmeric in a little hot milk, I feel relieved.
I sincerely want to go ahead with your system which I had also studied on my own some time back but I didn’t know wet dose way. I was too scared to overdose myself with arg. Met.
Since 3 months are now over and today I have managed to procure arg. Met 6 made by a Swiss company herbamed, I will start it tomomorrow and discard the 30c. I will try and sleep with the arnica and if I wake up I suppose I will take arnica again unless you suggest something else.
You have spent a lot of time and effort on me and I am eager to carry through. I have stopped the walk, I use the stationary cycle for a short while and everything else as you have instructed. I am not depressed. I regularly play the piano taught to me by excellent qualified pianist from Sri Lanka. As you know I was walking 5 kilometres daily in the park.
I am scared of waking up repeatedly in the night. As you know at age 50 menopausal symptoms also don’t help us women. Please advise and I will inform you of my progress.
Many thanks and regards

I note that you have completed your course of the drugs and the amitripilline prescribed for your Arthritis and ‘depression’ prescribed by your published rheumatologist.
You can now safely embark on my Joepathy therapy which I shall note below:
Arthritis: Argentum Metallicum 6c
Sleep: Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken twice daily in the Wet dose.
I shall copy my default therapy below:
If the patient’s Osteo Arthritis has not affected the Meniscus there is every possibility that Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose can cure the patient of the pain associated with Arthritis. It is the grating of the 2 bones, the Tibia and the Femur without the cushion of the Cartilage that results in Osteo Arthritis and relief is usually noticed on the third day after the commencement of the therapy.
A matter that amazes me is that there is no blood supply to the Cartilage which is essential for repairing and regrowing the Cartilage in the joints. How then can the cartilage regrow and thereby reduce and eventually eliminate the pain associated with Arthritis?
I have helped many patients who were on a daily dose of various analgesics which only served to deaden the pain temporarily but not CURE the condition.

Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken in the Wet dose taken twice daily leaving about an hour between remedies.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Report progress weekly or more often if you wish to have my advice.
Dear doc joe,
Tried not to bother u too much. I am continueing to take arg met 6c and arnica 30 c in the wet dose twice a day. Also natrum phos 6x. I have stopped extensive walks in the park and use stationary bike. It has been two weeks. There is definitely a slow but sure improvement in the knee arthritis. It is slow.
Symptoms of fibromyalgia have re surfaced after diminishing the amytriptilline which u might recall was given in very low dosage to help the muscles sleep at night. Obviiously sleep is disturbed now. Arnica helps but I still get up in 4 hours. Ankle pain is also reduced but continues to resurface. As u must know fibrimyalgia patients can’t seem to handle stress.
So, while following your remedy for knee arthritis to the letter, would u like to recommend anything to me for the fibro? 3 months ago, it was rhus tox 6 c that had helped. Or maybe u might prefer ruta keeping in mind my knee joepathy.
This is my update after over a week. Do advise.
Thanks, with gratitude
Shaista
Shaista
Please understand that a patient’s request for help is never a “bother” to me.
Glad to note that your present condition has improved due to your cutting out the long walks you used to do which you replaced by using an exercise cycle which I hope is the Recumbent type. Please confirm.
Your muscles will ‘sleep’ without any drug. The Arnica taken just before sleep will substitute for it. When you wake up in 4 hours take another dose of Arnica 30 and report your response.
You can add:
Ferrum Phos 6x dose 3 tablets taken thrice daily.
This Biochemic Cell Salt will increase the oxygenation of your blood and should at least theoretically , help in your recovery.
Since you feel that Rhus Tox 6c may help you can take it twice daily in the Wet dose and report.
Dear doc joe,
I felt that my fibromyalgia symptoms had returned with the weaning off of low dose amytriptilline. After confirming with you I started taking rhus tox along with my usual arg. Met and arnica all in the wet dose. Also nat.phos dry for weight loss. However rhus tox 30, since 6 was not available seems to have increased the pain behind the knee. It’s throbbing and seems the muscles twitch and contract. From tomorrow I will just continue with the arg. Met and arnica at the exclusion of rhus.tox. I was so hopeful because in earlier forums you used to prescribe the rhus. Or would you suggest I substitute it with ruta because I have the pain going down and locking into the ankle. I was really hoping to be better by now.
Thanks and best regards, Shaista
Shaista
I have no objection to your changing from Rhus T to Ruta as you have reported that the RT has not helped you and you feel that the Ruta may do so.
You will have to exercise the damaged leg and also massage it to improve the circulation to help in the recovery process.

Dr Joe,
Iam eshwar chandra suffering from joint pains since 7 years, Diagnosed by a doctor told me that iam affected with Rheumatoid Arthritis
after using allopathy it is not cured and my pains are same as first, my uncle who is a homeopath(Home based) told me to start homeopathy, he wrote me some tests to undergo, he diagnosed it as OA and after using it gradually i started feeling well, but my uncle met with an accident 2 years back, from then i stopped using medicine. Again pains starts gradually and am suffering with elbows, knees, back pain, neck pain,fingures, and am so weak, some times breathing is difficult, I heard about you in ABC homeopathy, Kindly suggest me a treatment

RA and OA cannot be confused with each other as the treatment is different for each ailment.
It is up to you to have yourself diagnosed with the necessary tests and you will then report your problem to me precisely for further advice.
Also indicate how old you are and for how long you have suffered from your problems and what remedies if any were prescribed to you and how you responded to them

It is very likely that your sister suffers from Arthritis which is not uncommon at age 35 although it can be considered as rare at her age.

I have read up on the Sacroiliac Joint problem and feel that the therapy that I have prescribed for Arthritis can help her.
There is no specific therapy or remedy for this problem in Homeopathy and I would like her to follow my instructions for a week and if after that period there is no improvement she can stop it.
Doctor Joe,
As you prescribed, after using those two remedies, iam feeling better, but present in knee pains, Shall i continue using these remedies
and am feeling so weak dull minded and depressed is this a symptom of OA, Kindly suggest if i have to use any remedy for this
Thanks and Regards

“iam feeling better, but present in knee pains, Shall i continue using these remedies”
In what way precisely, do you feel better?
“feeling so weak dull minded and depressed is this a symptom of OA, ”
Be reassured that this sensation is NOT due to OA and also not due to the 2 remedies that you are taking today and which you will continue to take for many months into the future.
Dear doc joe,
I have been away with my son for his shoulder surgery. After one month of arg met and arnica I was was not much better. To look after my son, my husband made me have an injection if lubricant. I was ok for 2 weeks and am now again in pain. MRI reveals 2 tears in miniscus. Now what do u advise. Uric acid is 5.6, which is on the high side.
Best regards, Shaista

I am surprised that the injection of some steroid into your knee lasted just 2 weeks as this should usually give you some relief for about 6 months.

Before using therapy i use to feel so much of pain in shoulders, elbows, knees and back, but now i feel very good when compared to past(decrease in pain) in shoulders, elbows and back. but pain in knees are same i think i have to use it for along so that i can relieve from that pain also. please prescribe me a remedy for weakness
With Regards

Glad to learn that my therapy has helped you to alleviate the pain you experienced in your body.
You stated that the level of your pain had reduced but you then continue to state:
“but pain in knees are same i think i have to use it for along so that i can relieve from that pain also”
You will have to be more precise in your statements as although I seem to have helped you by reducing your pain, you still continue to complain even when you have obviously found relief after using my therapy aka “Joepathy”
I would like to have a history of your OA with dates of when you first experienced pain in your joints and how long it took before my therapy helped you.
Please give me more details of the WEAKNESS that you now complain of.
Also what drugs, if any, are you taking today other than the remedies that I prescribed?
Dr Joe.
I Mean Pain in Knees are more when compared to other joints, so i mentioned like that.
Sir at first it was diagnosed as R.A by a doctor who is a orthopedician at the age of 20 when am suffering from back pain and i used allopathy for a year, but it is does nothing then i started using homeopathy from then i felt very well, after using 3 years i stopped it when the pains are gone.(i remember some of the medicines like rhustox,ruta,cal phos, cal flour)
I completely stopped using any medicine coz of my job purpose i used to shift place to place regularly and am unable to contact any doctor. I was completely treated as R.A patient. Then on internet search i found your treatment joepathy is very effective with arthritis and reported you. After that it is diagnosed as O.A.
WEAKNESS:
Iam feeling very weak and nervous from last 2 months, my head nerves are paining, if i worked heavily infront of system. Head is feeling heavy and dull when i woke up in the morning from last 3 days.
is this because of poor diet?
Kindly prescribe a remedy to recover soon
With best Regards

You will continue with my therapy for OA and I am confident that it should help with your ailment.
You have stated:
“is this because of poor diet? ”
If you suspect that your present diet is not satisfactory, you will have to take steps to change it and ensure that you eat sufficient proteins and other food that will help you to overcome your OA.
I cannot cure your OA unless you will eat the food necessary for your body to heal the problem.
You stated:
“Iam feeling very weak and nervous from last 2 months, my head nerves are paining, if i worked heavily infront of system. Head is feeling heavy and dull when i woke up in the morning from last 3 days.”
It seems to me that your problem is that you do not eat the correct food.
Dr Joe,
Thank you for your advice, surely ill continue the theraphy.
i have changed my diet and eating more protein food and you gave me the hope for healthy living.
Sir i have a question
is it safe using plastic bottles for wet dose.
May i know your birthday
With best regards
Eshwar
Eshwar
I hope that my therapy will help to CURE your OA.
Please keep me advised of your progress.
Glass bottles are the best but they are not freely available. PET bottles are sold in the supermarkets and I use a brand where the water is sourced from Deep Bore Wells around 200Ft below ground level. As long as you do not store the water near an open window which can attract UV radiation, bottled water in plastic bottles is OK.
I was born on October 19 1929.
I will be completing my 83rd year on this date in October.
What made you ask for my birthday?
Dr Joe,
Progress after 25 days, pains in all joints slowing down, but pain will come and go in some joints.
doc am having symtoms of goiter from 2 weeks at first i think it is because of weakness, but unable to swallow sometimes, feeling heavy in bottom of the neck, breathing is difficult when eating food or cool drinks/water.
Kindly give me some remedy to control this
Dr joe,
I want to celebrate our doctors birthday who is helping millions of people around the world with the great joepathy.
With Regards

Glad to learn that your: “Progress after 25 days, pains in all joints slowing down, but pain will come and go in some joints.”
This fact proves that my therapy is effective for both OA and RA. I was not aware of this fact for many years till I prescribed it for a known RA case and she confirmed, like you, that she experienced considerable relief from her joint and other pains.
With regard to your Hypothyroidism, you MUST consult a doctor to first diagnose and later treat your Goiter. If as you state you find some difficulty in swallowing, you may have to brave surgery to have the enlarged Thyroid Gland removed.
I regret that I will not be able to help you.
Dear Doctor,
I consult doctor regarding lump in my throat, this all because of gastric problem;
1)
The symptoms are burning stomach, dizziness, breathing weakness, and lump in throat, sometimes head ache.
Kindly suggest me a theraphy for it to cure.
2)
Sir,
Can i use hair therapy which you have indicated for us, with my treatment
With Regards
Eshwar
Eshwar
I shall copy my default therapy for GERD which I feel should help you within a couple of hours to settle the burning in your throat and stomach.
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka “Joepathy” will help you within the hour after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
Dear doc,
I want to get treatment for my grand mother through joepathy, i believe that it will cure my grand ma problem.
she undergone a hip surgery as she fell down on floor resulting in a hip injury.
it has been six months as she unable to walk, and still feeling pain. She was shocked when she fell down and very nervous to walk
Patient details:
Age 61
Weight 50kgs
Kindly suggest a treatment for her
With regards,
eshwar
Eshwar
Your grandma should have been able to walk within a few weeks of her surgery which I presume was a Hip Replacement if it was done by an experienced surgeon.
The fact that she is very nervous to walk has to be addressed ASAP by consulting the same surgeon and if all is OK you will have to inform me the reason for her reluctance to walk.
Does she experience pain when she walks?
Dose she present Diabetes and/or Hypertension?
Dose she suffer from any other ailments like Gastritis?
What is her height and weight?
Doctor,
its almost six months from surgery she is still depends on a stand,
She dont have bp, gastrisis, or diabetis
She is having pain all over leg and dont even try to walk on her own without support of the stand, my mother is so much worried about her. Kindly suggest treament for her i can take care of her health with the hope of joepathy, and i strongly believe that our doctor joe will help
Height: 5.2
Weight:52 kgs
Thank you doctor
With regards

Eshwar
Your mother’s case can be considered as chronic as she has according to your report, suffered unceasing pain after her surgery. You have yet not stated whether this was Hip Replacement surgery.
You can give her the following remedies all in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Arnica 30c To increase the blood flow in the body in the hope that this can help her damaged muscles to heal.
Hypericum 200 to be taken every 4 hours to deaden the pain.
Report her response weekly.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

I shall copy below my default therapy for Arthritis, Rheumatoid and Osteo which has helped many patients in the past.
Please let me know how she responds weekly and you may like to know that many patients have reported that they felt relief in a week.
I have helped many patients who were on a daily dose of various analgesics which only served to deaden the pain temporarily but not CURE the condition. Some patients have reported that they experienced relief from the pain they suffered for many years in the short space of just 48 hours and it is my hope that you too will experience this same blessed relief from your pain.
The 2 remedies are:
Argentum Metallicum 6c
Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken in the Wet dose twice daily leaving about an hour between remedies.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.

Hello Doctor Joe,
My father aged 70 years is suffering from severe knee pain and swelling in knee joints. He is very active person and goes for walk daily for 30 minutes. Since past 6-8 months he is having knee joint pain and it is becoming severe.
He has recently started taking Argentum Mettalicum 30c and Ruta 200 in small tablet form where the liquid form is added to the tablet. Can you continue these 2-medications or should he be taking argentum mettalicum in 6c dose?
Also should he take Rhustox for pain relief as he is suffering from severe pain in the knee joins and the thighs region.
Please advice which medication is best for him and how long should he continue the medication.
Thanks & Regards
P Ram
If he is suffering from Osteo Arthritis, the remedy is Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Stop ALL other remedies but you may use
Hypericum 200c in the Wet dose taken every 4 hours for the pain.

dear sir,
excuse,i am writing to you again and again because your responses are taking time.once more i tell you that i have been taking arnica and conium for my prostrate and lastly for rheumatic arthritis ,may i take argentum metallicum after finishing the two medicines of prostrate in 1 hr later
regards
It seems to me that you are not receiving my replies to your many posts for some reason I do not understand as all my other patients do not have any problems. I shall copy my reply to your post of yesterday:
“Submitted on 2014/06/26 at 4:14 PM | In reply to badri rimal.
You now know the reason for my reticence to OK your request to add to the 2 remedies I had already prescribed for your Prostate (Not PROSTRATE) problems.
It is very likely that your Prostate Gland is over 50gm and you are advised to consult a Urologist and get a full report including the Size and also request a PSA test to assess the problem more fully. This report should read up to 4 and if it is over this reading you will have to get a scan done and depending on the scan a Biopsy may be indicated. You will have to contact a large hospital like Apollo who can carry out these specialized tests.
In the meanwhile, you will STOP the Arg Met and only stay with the Arnica and the Conium as prescribed.
Please remember to SHAKE the bottles before taking every dose as this makes the remedy more powerful.”
It is very likely that the reason for your problem today is due to the antidoting of the Arnica/Conium therapy by the Arg Met which I reluctantly prescribed for your Arthritis. It is up to you to decide if you wish to treat your Prostate or your Arthritis.
The problem you have is that you contacted me so very late with your multiple problems and treating you will prove to be very difficult.
Sir,
I,m taking berberis vulgaris and sarspilla 10-10drops in a half cup of water, 4 times a day for kidney stone.
So sir pls suggest. Me is this right med. And dose for me
Thanks
You have repeated your case for the second time and I note that you have NOT read my reply to you as contained in my last post.
STOP bugging me as I have already prescribed for you as follows:
“I note that you are under treatment from another homeopath but you will not be able to use my therapy while you are using the other.”
It is up to you to accept or reject my therapy for Kidney Stones which has helped many patients some of whom have recorded their experience on my Website.
Hi,
I would like to know whether Arg Met 6c and Arnica 30c should be added every day for wet dose or only once 3 drops during the start.Also for obesity of 120kg,5’11 height and age 81 years with Knee OA ,bone on bone,can we start Nat Phos 6x along with Arnica and Arg met.Thank you,
If you wish to consult me, the least I can expect you to do is to report your problems in detail to enable me to advise you.
As already mentioned 81 yr old patient with Osteoarthritis of right knee with painful movements with obesity,weight 120kgs and diabetic on insulin and oral medications with controled sugar.As you have adviced to take Arg met and Arnica for arthritis,should they be added in spring water everyday or not.Thank you.
It is very unlikely that at your age of 81, you can reduce your weight of 120kg to help ease the agony you suffer from Osteo Arthritis.

hi
Can you please help, i have pain in my left knee for about a year now, its dull aching kind of pain more on bending knee, usually increases as the day passes.
I had an MRI which shows a tear in medial meniscus, I have been advised meniscectomy but i don’t want to go for the operation.
Is there any remedy in Homeopathic which can repair the tear, if any please help. I shall be grateful.
regards
Ali
I regret to inform you that there is no alternative to Meniscectomy which is done Arthroscopically to remove the torn Meniscus which is the cause of your pain. You do not need to have any apprehension about this surgery as it will be done under a local anesthetic by an experienced surgeon and you will be OK in a few days.
You can use Arnica 30c in the Wet dose thrice daily to help both before and after surgery.

Hi Mr Joe. I am writing from India and suffering from acute OCD for 30 years. My symptoms of ocd occurred with the fear that my mother would die after one of my cousin sister said so just to insil fear in me. After that symptoms like washing hands began. Forceful illogical thoughts come to my mind which I can hardly control. These harmful thoughts like I other members of my family would die of cancer comes frequently. I am deeply religious and pray a lot, but prayers become negative when destructive thoughts come to mind. Recently, a homoeopath prescribed staphysgria, but it never worked. Another doc suggested argentum nat and aurum met. I am a bit confused and at times lose faith in treatment methods. Biggest worry is how to stop forceful and repetative destructive thoughts. Plz suggest.
Dr Arshad Ali Saeed will take over your case as he has more clinical experience than me to do so. He practices in London and he will contact you on my Website ASAP.

Dear Dr Joe
Please can you help with my symptoms. I have intense lower back pain and stiffness. There is pain around the hips I think it’s nerve pain it feels sore and almost burning. Sometimes there is also pain and stiffness in my knees. My shoulders are also very stiff and I have limited range of movement in both shoulders (previously I had a left frozen shoulder). I feel better for stretching exercise and walking but I can never get rid of the pain. My sleep is less than it should be as I usually wake too early. I have food sensitivities and certain foods increase my pain – eg all grains, and cows milk. I do t have a normal amount of energy. Generally I am fairly upbeat and not prone to depression but my mind is overactive. The main problem I would like help with is the pain and stiffness. I don’t have arthritis and there is no real diagnosis from the doctor for me. In the past I had chronic fatigue so these symptoms may be due to the vague condition of fibromyalgia – who knows! Please can you help me? Yours with gratitude, Jo (female aged 60)
My Colleague Dr Arshad Ali Saeed will take over your case as he has more clinical experience than me to do so. He practices in London and he will contact you on my Website ASAP.

PS I forgot to say in my post that I have also developed problems with balance. If I move quickly or look up or down when I’m walking I lose my balance. Sometimes I feel a bit dizzy. Thank you in advance for your help, Jo
Dear Mr De Livera,
i am 64 years old female, and I had an arthroscopy in February 2016 due to a tear in the medial meniscus in my right knee. The pain was still making me immobile in August 2016. My surgeon did not prescribe any medication and advised against exercise except hydrotherapy. Despite being on a diet, I put on weight 4kgs due to lack of exercise. I weighed 85kgs and my GP said I must lose weight, he suggested a stationary bike which I hired. Even on the first exercise with very little resistance on the bike, my knee swelled and my husband did not want me to use it again. I have just retired after a 35 year career as a retail executive, and I desperately want to travel the world, but I can’t even go to the shopping mall, as I have to abandon my trip after 30 minutes due to the pain in my knee. Desperate to lose the weight to help my knee, I had liposuction of the abdominal area in August – the surgeon said I could lose 4-6 kgs. This was extremely painful, and after 2 months I have only lost 3 kgs. I have sought a 2nd opinion with a knee specialist and have been put on Mobic 15 mgs daily with Nexium 40 mgs daily. I am also exercising in the local swimming pool with a physiotherapist twice a week. I believe in the physiotherapy, but the meds don’t help a great deal. After more XRays and MRI, the new specialist tells
me that I have a degenerative tear of the medial meniscus with degenerative changes in the lateral meniscus of the right knee. I also have medial and patella femoral arthritis of the right knee, and soft tissue irritation and inflammation, namely per bursitis and ITB distal irritation and tightness.I have followed your website and have started on the NAT PHOS 6X tissue salts 2 x three times daily after food. I would like your advice on the homeopathic remedies I should take rather than treat myself from what I have read of ARG MET 6C and ARN 6C. I am well used to taking homeopathic remedies, and rarely take allopathic medicines except Stilnox for insomnia (only 1 x week). I have frequent urination especially at night, waking 4-6 times to pass water. I have found that in the past diet Coca
Cola (only 200mls daily) can be a cause of the frequent urination, but i haven’t been drinking this lately. I have read that organic cider vinegar can help as I do have some acidity in my body (and probably candida), but I don’t want to take this until I have had your advice. With kindest regards, Sonia
You are obviously overweight at 85kg even though you did not state your height.
You cannot drink Cocacola DAILY and expect to sleep deeply. The ingredients used in its manufacture will prevent you from doing so as they are all stimulants. The sugar substitute has been known to cause cancer.
“I have frequent urination especially at night, waking 4-6 times to pass water”
You must consult a Urologist to identify the reason for your doing so.
Your liposuction experiment “This was extremely painful, and after 2 months I have only lost 3 kgs. I have sought a 2nd opinion with a knee specialist and have been put on Mobic 15 mgs daily with Nexium 40 mgs daily.”
STOP THESE DRUGS as they are obviously doing you harm.
You can replace the Nexium with Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets taken thrice daily after every meal. I shall copy my default therapy for GERD below:
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka “Joepathy” will help you within 24 hours after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 2-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 3 meals.
This remedy accelerates the passage of food down the gut and prevents the formation of acid which would otherwise reflux causing GERD.
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
This remedy works to repair the damaged Esophagus which has metastasised to resemble the gut to deal with the Hcl refluxed into it causing severe distress. Arnica works with the Nat Phos to speedily cure the problem.
You can also take a PROBIOTIC like Bifilac dose 1 capsule for a week. A Probiotic will help by changing the balance of the Bacteria in the gut and will contribute to your cure and help to ensure that your problem does not recur. After your problem with GERD is stabilised you can take the Arnica in the Wet dose nightly before bed and the Probiotic daily for life. You do not need to take Nat Phos daily but you will keep a stock to be used whenever you feel uncomfortable after a meal when you will take 2-3 tablets as necessary.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
You are fortunate that you only suffered from the pain as I know a patient who almost lost her life after this surgery as this was followed by Cardiac Asthma which caused her lungs to fill up with liquid which was later drained out to save her life.
Did you suffer from any Fever in the past due to Dengue or Chikungunya?
Where do you live?
I re-read my prescription for you and discovered that I had failed to mention that Nat Phos 6x will REDUCE your weight by 1kg per WEEK. i
I would like to have your confirmation in about 2 weeks on how much weight it has helped you to shed.
It is understood of course that you will observe the other pointers that I have prescribed to enable you to shed weight.
Thank you for your reply Dr. Joe. I had already stopped Nexium and have been taking Nat Phos 6X 2 three times daily for 4 days.
I do not have a gastric complaint, Nexium was prescribed as a precautionary measure because I was prescribed Mobic.
I had stopped Mobic (anti inflammatory), at the same time as I stopped Nexium, but the knee pain returned even during the night. So I took Arthrexin (Indocid) for the pain This was also prescribed in case Mobic did not work, and Arthrexin did work. When I read the side effect of the medications, I noted that Mobic and Nexium can give urinary frequency, which is why I stopped them.
Having stopped the 2 medications, Nexium 4 days ago, and and Mobic 2 days ago, I now wake only 3 or 4 times a night to urinate. I feel sure that this will decrease as time goes on.
I have stopped the coca cola.
I thought you might advise me to take ARG MET 6C for the knee pain, so that I may stop Arthrexin?
Dr. Joe, is there anything you can advise for the repair of the meniscus tear and the pain in the knee from osteo arthritis please?
I live in Australia.
I very much appreciate your kind advice, and admire the help you are giving to so many people who are suffering from illness, kind regards Sonia
Apologies Dr Joe, I did not answer your question. I have always enjoyed good health, and have not suffered from Dengue or Chikungunya Fever, regards Sonia
Glad to note that you have studied the cases I have treated on my Website.
You are already taking Nat Phos 6x which helps Gout and the Argentum Metallicum 6c will help the Meniscus in some manner that is mysterious to grow and I have had many reports that it works. You will make the Wet dose and take it twice daily.
You can help the pain by taking Hypericum 200c in the Wet dose as an analgesic, every 3-4 hours.
STOP all drugs to enable the Homeopathy to work.
I’ve read many parts of this thread and appreciate your time to help people.
If you can please clarify a couple things for me.
First, about me. I’m 56 and about 50lbs over weight. I have osteoarthritis in my left knee and I believe a little in my ankle. This was due to an automobile accident many years ago that busted up my leg and knee. I still have a rod in my lower leg. I had an x-ray taken a couple years ago and the doc said it was bone on bone in my knee.
Over the past few years the pain in my knee has slowly increased. I’ve tried so many supplements to remedy. It’s hard to sleep comfortable at night. The knee is very stiff after sitting a while.
I eat fairly healthy, have green drink smoothies most mornings and evenings with meals. I get moderate exercise.
Pet this thread, I have ordered Arg Met 6c as well as Nat Phos for the weight. I’ve read to take Arg Met before and after meals. Which one is better?
I’ve read that these may antidote themselves if taken as the same time. Is that true? If so, which one is best to start with? And for how long each?
I do drink beer a couple times a week. Is this going to antidote the remedy all the time?
Thank you again for your time.
Glad to note that my Website has been studied by you and you have ordered the remedies I have prescribed to hundreds of patients throughout the world who have benefitted from my “Joepathy”
You should reduce your weight by 1 Kg per WEEK with the therapy outlined below.

The Ultimate Cure for Obesity on:
http://abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/15923/
This is a post I made on the ABC way back in 2004 on December 25, the day before the Tsunami hit Sri Lanka, a day which will forever will remain in my mind for as long as I live as I was involved in the Homeopathic after care of the many thousands of survivors immediately after the Tsunami when I was joined by members of Homeopaths Without Borders who sent 6 pairs of International Homeopaths to help care for the survivors.
Your therapy for Obesity will comprise the use of
Nat Phos 6x dose 3 tablets taken thrice daily after meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily before meals.
Weigh yourself today before you commence on my therapy and report your weight loss weekly when the standard loss which you can expect and has been reported is around 1kg per week.
You will also do a regular stint of at least 45 minutes of exercise which will be done by you at intensive levels, irrespective of the general feeling of tiredness that you may experience, if you wish to benefit from my Joepathy.
You will also control your diet, eliminate all fatty food and eat in moderation to ensure that your stomach is filled to a comfortable level.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.
Please follow the following restrictions which are essential to ensure that the remedy prescribed is not antidoted:
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
Report your weight loss weekly when you can expect a drop of at least 1kg per WEEK.
ARTHRITIS
I shall copy below my default therapy for Arthritis which has helped many patients who were on a daily dose of various analgesics which only served to deaden the pain temporarily but not CURE the condition. Some patients have reported that they experienced relief from the pain they suffered for many years in the short space of just 48 hours and it is my hope that you too will experience this same blessed relief from your pain.
The 2 remedies are:
Argentum Metallicum 6c
Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken in the Wet dose twice daily leaving about an hour between remedies.
You will not take any drugs when you start my therapy.

Hello Sir,
I have chronic spinal disorder since 8 years after my 1st child was born. I have pain in lower back which was occasional for many years. But since my 2nd delivery ie 2014 onwards it has become permanent . I got x ray done which shows spine has flattened where it is supposed to be curved. Now since 2-3 months my neck has also become stiff. I always feel dizzy while standing and walking due to it.
My second problem is GERD which has also intensified since 3months. I am on your default therapy….nat phos and arnica along with probiotics. I feel very bloted but still very hungry and choke while eating and feel breathless for few seconds. Such episodes are horrifying. Eating has become a task for me. It’s been 20 days since I started your therapy regularly and initialy found lot of improvement but the choking is coming back again. Want to give it more time to see results but shall I introduce Robinia P ? Feeling very heavy in stomach although there has been no constipation. I am not able to take care of my kids alone due to all these health issues. Please help.
I regret that I cannot help your spinal problem which is obviously chronic and will need treatment from an orthopedic surgeon.
I note that you are already using my default therapy for GERD but that it has not helped you. It is possible that you suffer from excess secretion of Hcl acid and you will add:
Robinia Pseudacacia 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. You will continue to take the Arnica 30c and will leave half hour between remedies.
Sir I m 40 years of I have knee pain after acl reconstruction. We want to take argentum met 6c .Then what will be doase. How to use
Argentum Met 6c is NOT your remedy after ACL reconstruction. It is only good to cure Osteo Arthritis.
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose is your remedy taken twice daily.
can I ask about my husbands osteoarthritis. We have tried so many remedies and after xrays the chiropractor wouldn’t touch him. He has very jagged left hip joint. Really damgaged cartilage. His Dad broke his low back when he was 10 and his low back is deformed. He has lots of sciatic pain. He was doing well after taking some remedies for 11 months but then with age it seems to have continued to deteriorate. His thigh muscle has grown back some so I know its better but he can’t live like this. I was giving him arnica 1M on a hike alternating rhus tox 1 M every 30 minutes. (arnica 30 helps but not enough) He still ended up in pain. I am trying some gemmotherapy this month and my husband says if it doesn’t help he is getting a hip replacement. I want so bad for him to get better. Hip replacements sometimes don’t work and sometimes cause other problems. Maybe I am worried for nothing but I believe the body can heal! Would argentum met 6c still possibly help or should I just accept that it is too far gone?
“Would argentum met 6c still possibly help or should I just accept that it is too far gone?”
You should have given him this remedy in the first place long before you gave the “arnica 1M on a hike alternating rhus tox 1 M every 30 minutes.” This is virtually a dangerous combination which should not be given in the manner that you have.
Let us hope that Argentum Metallicum 6c and Arnica 30c in the Wet dose can help him in a few days before you opt for a Hip replacement surgery.

hello doc,
i am 23 years old male. i used to be of 105 kg but have reduced my weight to 80 kg. In the process, i used to run a lot and now i have developed grating sensation in both knees.
The grating is between Patella and Femur cartilage. Sometimes there is a dull ache too. But most of the time i feel tightness around the knee and irritating grating.
what homoeopathy medicine should i take?
right now i am taking RUTA G. 30x but i dont see any result?
i have read your prescription of Argentum M. 6c. Should i go with it?
Plus i read somewhere that Arg. M. 3c is better than 6c. All potential are available in the place where i live.
thank you!
I am sharing my therapy for GERD and for Arthritis below:
THERAPY GERD
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka “Joepathy” will help you within 24 hours after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 2-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 3 meals.
This remedy accelerates the passage of food down the gut and prevents the formation of acid which would otherwise reflux causing GERD.
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
This remedy works to repair the damaged Esophagus which has metastasised to resemble the gut to deal with the Hcl refluxed into it causing severe distress. Arnica works with the Nat Phos to speedily cure the problem.
You can also take a Probiotic daily for a week. A Probiotic will help by changing the balance of the Bacteria in the Stomach and will contribute to your cure and help to ensure that your problem does not recur. After your problem with GERD is stabilised you can take the Arnica in the Wet dose nightly before bed for life. You do not need to take Nat Phos daily but you will keep a stock to be used whenever you feel uncomfortable after a meal when you will take 2-3 tablets as necessary.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining (Villa) in the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.

Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
ARTHRITIS
You will use Argemtum Metallicum 30c in the Wet dose twice daily as there is a possibility of the 6c causing some other complications.
hello joe,
i am grateful for your reply. i dont doubt your prescription but there are just some doubts.
should i continue with Ruta G.? actually i read above that i need to stop all other ailments.
what complication would Arg M. 6c create? isnt 30c more powerful than 30c?
i would appreciate a reply, sorry for being troublesome.
I noticed that you have addressed me by my given name, Joe.
I do not permit being addressed by name on my website, as the least I can expect from you is that you show some respect in doing so.
Here in Sri Lanka where I live, we have a modicum of respect for age.
I am 90 YEARS old.
I have already prescribed for you but feel free to self medicate but stop bugging me in future.
I am extremely sorry. Sorry for being so casual. Anyways thanks for the help. Wont bug you anymore…
Dear Dr Joe De Silva,
I was helped after my TURP operation about 12 years back when on reading your post and used Arnica 30C and was cured of incontinence of urine.
Now I request for your help.I am 76 years old.Now I am suffering from pain in my ankle. From X ray I have come to know that gap between the joint has vanished most probably due to cartilage wear.The doctors have told me that nothing could be done now.As such it is Osteo Arthritis as per your post.
From this post I come to know that Argentum Metalliun 6C(AA) in wet dose should be used.
Will it be OK .
I shall be most grateful for the advice.
Major SS Bhatia
“Dear Dr Joe De Silva,”
Please note that my name is Joe De Livera.
You may also like to know that I celebrated my 90th Birthday on October 19, a few days ago. I believe that God has blessed me with my relatively long life to help suffering humanity and it is interesting to record that I do NOT take any drugs except on a SOS basis.
I looked back ony your posts and discovered that I had helped you with my “Joepathy” on 2017/11/14 at 4:57 when you stated:
I can not thank you enough.After my TURP I started Arnica 30C to cure my incontinence and other problems.I became OK.That is few years back. Now I am again troubled by frequent urine problem and have started Arnica again.
My grand daughter is having ADHD.After reading your column I think Arnica 1M may be helpful in her Memory problem.
It is possible that Arnica 30c may not help you in the future and you may consider using Arnica 6c which is more powerful and will help you better.
You can use Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily for your suspected Arthritis in your ankle and report if it helps you. It is rarely that your ankle will present Arthritis as this is reported more in the knee first.
I am impressed that you seem to study the cases on my Website and it is very satisfying for me to know that my idea of establishing it in 2000 will be a permanent record of my use of Homeopathy which the coterie of ‘classical’ homeopaths derisively dubbed “Joepathy” as I treat the Disease and NOT the symptoms as ordered in classical Homeopathy.
It is very satisfying for me to know in my old age that the Prasanta Banerji Homeopathic Foundation in Kolkata also uses, unknown to me, the same methology as they have also discovered that treating the symptoms of the disease as ordered by Dr Hahnemann and his classical followers did not have the same rate of cure as the direct “This for That” method that I use.
You are invited to visit:

It is also of interest to record that the term “Joepathy” attracts about 50000 hits on Google today.
TallDear Dr Joe de Livera
At the out set I wish to express my apology for writing your name wrongly.I wish that God almighty should grant you a healthy and long life so that many are helped like me.
I am not able to get Argentum Metallicum6c here but30c is available.Can I use that.
With regards,
Major SS Bhatia
It is essential that you follow my prescription as there is no question of your substituting Arg Met 30c merely because you cannot get the 6c prescribed in your street.
Your email IP indicates that you live in Ludhiana and it is up to you to follow my prescription literally, and order it from downtown where there will be more pharmacies, if you wish to be treated.
In your case your condition is chronic due to your advancing years and it is very likely that you will have to take this remedy for some months, perhaps even years, in the future. I can only prescribe but I cannot give you the medicine which I normally give free of charge to patients in Colombo where I live.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera
I was able to get Argentum Metallicum6c and have started having twice a teaspoon of the remedy in wet dose.
I am experiencing much less pain now .
I must thank you and pray for your long life.
Earlier I was cured of incontinence of urine after TURP operation by Arnica 30c in wet dose.
Thanking you,
Major SS Bhatia
Glad to learn that my therapy aka “Joepathy” has helped you again. You may safely continue to take this remedy for a few days more, and report your progress in a week.
Please note that this is not a remedy for daily use like Arnica.
Dear Sh Joe de Silva,
I have been taking Argentum Metallicum6c for last two months for pain in my left ankle.I have found it has given me a great relief.However I am yet not fully cured.The pain does appear when walking on a rough surface.Secondly can not take even a moderately faster walk.
Pl advise.
I am 77 years old.

I do not have any record of prescribing for you and presume that you have visited my Website where you would have read a prescription I made for some patient in the past.
It is interesting that you classify yourself as “an old man”. You may like to know that I am senior to you as I celebrated my 90th Birthday last October. I do realise that I am old but I do still attend office daily which is not connected to Homeopathy which is my Hobby and which I first studied in 1960 as I was fascinated with the protocol to which I have made a difference in the methodology I use which classical Homeopaths dubbed “Joepathy”(Google).
You may continue to use Arg Met 6c in the Wet dose and also add
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose which you will take twice daily leaving half hour between remedies.
You can safely take Arnica 30c in the Wd once daily for LIFE as I have also done since 1996.
I do not take any allopathic drugs whatever unless on a SOS basis like after surgery and owe my long life to God and to Arnica.
Dear Dr Joe de lovers
I have written your name wrongly in my last post for which I am extremely sorry.

This post is to seek from the God almighty a long and happy life for you in these troubled time.
We are living for last one month under lock down conditions.Need to know your well being.
I further request you to let me know if any homeopathic remedy is useful for Covid 19 either for general immunity or as a medicine for the effected persons.
Thanking you and again wishing you a well being so as to keep serving the humanity.

Thank you for your good wishes and I too am in lockdown like almost all here are in Colombo, since March 16. The greatest problem is to get food but my wife and I and 2 household staff in our residence have managed so far , with assistance from the youngest of my 3 sons who lives just 15 minutes away but is also under lockdown.
I am glad you inquired about a Homeopathic CURE I discovered in 2005 for Colds which I later prescribed for the Dengue Virus which I tentatively prescribed for the Corona Virus. It was tested in 4 separate countries by clients who are on my Website who have confirmed that a Corona positive patient is CURED in 4 days. The greatest advantage is that is can also be used as a Prophylactic when taken just once daily.
The Remedy is Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose and you can follow the protocol which has worked on:
http://www.joedelivera.com/?s=corona
Stay well and may God Bless you.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera,
Very happy to know your well being.
I am already taking Argentum Metallicum6c in wet dose for my ankle problem along with Arnica 30C twice a day.
Pl let me know whether I can take Eupatorium Perpfoliatum 200 C once a day as precautionary measure against Covid in continuation with the above remedies.
Also pl indicate whether the wet dose is to made in same way as Arnica 30c.
Thanking and wishing you the best of health.

I presume that I prescribed Argent M 6c for your ankle. You have not indicated if it helped it in any way. If it did not you are advised to stop it. You will note that I would have requested you to report your response but I cannot remember your doing so. I also note that you are taking Arnica 30c. Here again has it helped you?
Feel free to take the Eupat Perf 200 in the Wd as prescribed as it will ensure that this virus will not harm you.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera
Argentum Metallicum6c has helped me.Now I am able to walk slowly without pain .As for as Arnica 30c is concerned I took it about 15 years back to stop urine incontinence after TURP operation and it helped almost instantly.I took it for about 2years .
Now with your advice I am taking one TSF of Arnica 30c half an hour
after Argentum Metallicum6c with a gap of half an hour.
Both seems to be helping me.
My other parameters like BP,sugar,cholostrol etc are ok though I am over weight.I stopped drinking and Non veg food from 1997.
I will start the Eupoorium Pelrfoliatum 200c, as soon as I can get hold of
it from market.
You have not indicated if the wet dose is to be made as in Arnica 30c ie 3 drops of remedy in 500ml mineral water.
Can it be taken by the complete family.
Thanking you

I note that you used Arnica 30c 15 years ago to help your Urinary incontinence after TURP. I prescribe Arnica 6c in the Wd as this is far more effective.
Do you wish to use my remedy to reduce your weight by 1kg per WEEK, and that very safely?
The Wet dose is ALWAYS made with 3 drops in 500ml water.
It can be taken by anyone and I have also done so nightly, since 1996.
It is perhaps the greatest gift that God gave me to maintain my life to 90.5 years and that at my present level of health without any medical problems.
A recent blood test last June before my Cataract surgery showed that all my vital statistics are normal or well below.
Blood Sugar was 89 Random !

My Website was subjected to a Cyber attack and my hosting provider detected that my website had been compromised and helped me stop further abuse of my site by shutting down the service. During this time I took the opportunity to audit the site and the other services that I have, and to upgrade the software that I use. Rather than rush to get the site back up I reviewed what the security concerns are and I put in place a process to quickly rebuild the site, in the event of another similar attack.
Glad to learn that my therapy aka “Joepathy” has helped you since the last 15 years when you used it to help with TURP after effects. Remember that I can help you with another remedy which I too use at age 91 which seems to control the growth of my Prostate for which I was in surgery in the US in 2001. Although I have no problem peeing, my Prostate continues to grow and I was prescribed some drugs about 5 years ago which I replaced with my new discovery.
A recent Blood Test proved the efficacy of my Arnica therapy as all results were within accepted levels with B Sugar at 89 Random !
I walk over 3km daily in my own premises which has a large garden and I while away the time, usually half hour by listening to Piano music which I used to play on my Steiinway Grand Piano listening to music on my Bose inner ear headphones which I connect directly to my iPhone as my hearing has suffered and I usually wear a hearing aid which I cannot use for music. It is the combination of the music and my walking that keeps me fit and I do attend office daily as I used to do before we were in Lockdown and Curfew in Sri Lanka.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera,
Very glad to see your site back and also that you are well and will continue your pious services to the humanity.
As you know,I started taking Argentum Metalicum 6c followed by Arnica 30c.It has helped me as my pain in the ankle has subsided to great extent.I stopped the Argentum Metalicum 6c after your site was closed as you had said that this remedy can not be taken indefinitely but continuing with Arnica 30c.
My ankle left one only which had pain and the front toe had some sensation as if the toe has been tied with the bandage.Though pain from ankle has subsided the feeling at the toe of the foot remains.Should I continue with the remedy?
I used to go for long walks before the ankle pain.Now I do cycling on a stationery machine followed by exercise and yoga.
Blood Pressure and sugar levels are ok.
Thanking you

It is possible that there is a concerted effort on the part of Big Pharma to silence me as my Website which is now just over 10 years old, was subjected to a Cyber attack about a month ago. My hosting provider detected that my website had been compromised and helped me stop further abuse of my site by shutting down the service. During this time I took the opportunity to audit the site and the other services that I have, and to upgrade the software that I use. Rather than rush to get the site back up I reviewed what the security concerns are and I put in place a process to quickly rebuild the site, in the event of another similar attack.
Another Website that I helped to establish in 2006, Homeopathy and Home is currently silenced in the same manner and this is a shame as I helped Praveen Wadwa an engineer by profession who wrote the software to prescribe for the many patients who consulted us and there is a wealth of information and cases on this website which seem to be lost unless the new owners take steps to clear the mess caused by the Cyber attack. This seems unlikely right now as Praveen has not been around for about 6 years and he sold it to a CELLTECK a manufacturer of Homeopathic Medicines and they seems to have also closed down a few months ago without making provision for continuity of this Website.
I am now almost 91 years in age and do still drive to office in my Family owned business organisation which will be a Century old in 2024 which the youngest of my 3 sons helps me to run in the heart of the business centre of Colombo. I did a complete Blood Test last week and was delighted to discover that there was no difference in my report from what it was 2 years ago.
If you feel that the Argentum Metallicum 6c helps you even today, you may take a dose say 3 times a week. You will continue the Arnica 30 for life. You are also advised to take a full Blood Test annually to keep a record of your progress through life.
Dear Dr.Joe de Livera
Thanks a lot for the advice.
As for deeds of big Pharma and allopathic doctors is concerned,it is a pity that this class has come down so low and money is their only motive.
I have started taking Argentum Metalicum 6c once alternative day and am taking Arnica twice a .day as advised by you.
I need an other clarification.As you know one suffers from cough or fever some times .Can one take the medicines by homeopaths along with the remedies I am using.You must be aware that one does not know what remedy the homeopaths are giving.
Thanking you

I have prescribed Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose to be taken twice daily and not alternate days. I first prescribed it for you long ago and you seem to have forgotten the dosage prescribed.
You stated on December 3 2019
“I was able to get Argentum Metallicum6c and have started having twice a teaspoon of the remedy in wet dose.
I am experiencing much less pain now .”
You can stop the Arnica for the moment as I may have to prescribe a higher potency which should help to clear your mind and improve your memory.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera
I could not reply to your Aug27 post due to various problems in business post lock down.
You had told me on Aug 17 post to take Argentum Metalicum 6c only 3 times a week which I am continuing with Arnica 30 c daily.
I could not understand your post of Aug 27 wherein you seem to be annoyed at the above frequency of the remedies.
I have benifited a.lot from point of view of pain in the ankle.
Actually I did not tell you that alongwith the pain in left ankle I also have kind tingling in the front side of the foot.I havenow read that this tingling pain is due to nerve damage.I also read that homeopathy has remedies for neuropathy.
May I please be advised.
Thanking you.

I believe that the time has come for me to stop treating you.
As you are perhaps aware I am now almost 91 years in age and do not have the time nor the inclination to help you to clear up your mind in future on how you interpret my prescription for Arg Met 6c which I clearly stated was to be used twice daily and not every other day.
I do not understand your statement:
“I could not understand your post of Aug 27 wherein you seem to be annoyed at the above frequency of the remedies.”
I was not in any way ANNOYED by your misinterpretation of my prescription but I am now VERY ANNOYED at your statement above.
Please refer your ailments to other physicians in future, as I have been very patient with you up to now and cannot waste my time on treating you in future.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera
I will ever remain grateful to you for getting relief for many ailments.
Thanking you.

Hi Joe – I have been following you for a year or so now and so appreciate the help you give and the knowledge you so freely share. I am going to order liquid Arnica 6c and Arnica 30c for the treatment of arthritis and psoriasis/eczema and acne, and was hoping you could answer a quick question. Will the Arnica 6c in the wet dose also help nodosities (nodules) on finger joints and arthritis in my hands? Thank you so much for your response.
P.S. I really enjoyed your interview with Joette Calabrese that I watched recently. 🙂
It is rarely that I receive a request for help like yours where you seem to have already diagnosed your ailment and are contacting me merely to get my agreement to your own self treatment protocol.
You state:
“I am going to order liquid Arnica 6c and Arnica 30c for the treatment of arthritis and psoriasis/eczema and acne, and was hoping you could answer a quick question. Will the Arnica 6c in the wet dose also help nodosities (nodules) on finger joints and arthritis in my hands? Thank you so much for your response.”
Feel free to do so and when you discover that your therapy has not helped you, you may contact me again if you wish if I am still around, as I am almost 92 years in age.
I must also inform you that I would prefer that you do NOT address me by my given name on my Webslte, which you state your have followed for a year or so, which would have enabled you to observe the respect and cordial relationship I maintain with my patients, which seems so different from the tone of your own post.
I live in Sri Lanka where age is respected, and even venerated.
Hi Dr. Joe de Livera
I must say I’m immensely appreciative of you taking the time to help people on your website. My your be forever blessed and favored.
My mother is suffering from osteo arthritis and in her knee and is having a very hard time walking around. She is also overweight due to thyroid issues and is trying to lose weight. What could you recommend for her condition? She is 58
Thanks

I shall copy below my default therapy for Arthritis which has helped many patients who were on a daily dose of various analgesics which only served to deaden the pain temporarily but not CURE the condition. Some patients have reported that they experienced relief from the pain they suffered for many years in the short space of just 48 hours and it is my hope that you too will experience this same blessed relief from your pain.
The 2 remedies are:
Argentum Metallicum 30c
Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken in the Wet dose twice daily leaving about an hour between remedies.
You will not take any drugs when you start my therapy.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.

This is a post I made on the ABC way back in 2004 on December 25, the day before the Tsunami hit Sri Lanka, a day which will forever will remain in my mind for as long as I live as I was involved in the Homeopathic after care of the many thousands of survivors immediately after the Tsunami when I was joined by members of Homeopaths Without Borders who sent 6 pairs of International Homeopaths to help care for the survivors.
Your therapy for Obesity will comprise the use of
Nat Phos 6x dose 2-3 tablets taken thrice daily after meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily before meals.
Weigh yourself today before you commence on my therapy and report your weight loss weekly when the standard loss which you can expect and has been reported is around 1kg per week.
You will also do a regular stint of at least 30 minutes of exercise if you wish to benefit from my therapy.
You will also control your diet, eliminate all fatty food and eat in moderation to ensure that your stomach is filled to a comfortable level.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Good day Doctor Joe De Livera,
I am hoping you can help me. I am in my early 60’s.
I have been suffering with osteoarthritis & joints pain, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes type2, hypertension and thyroid gland problem. It has been treated with different medications but to be honest I would prefer the homeopathic route as there are always side effects to a lot of the medications and no cure.
For medications I currently taking:
Hypertension: lorsatan 100mg X once a day & doxazosin x 8mgs twice a day.
Peripheral neuropathy: 300mgs gabapentine three times a day.
Diabetes type 2:
Metformin x 1000mg twice a day and linagliptin x 5mgs once a day.
And I take 30mgs of cocodamol PRN when joint pain or headaches and at times I taken 1000mgs of paracetamol just for headaches or any other pain O don’t understand.
For arthritis I am given Fenbid gel 10%w/w at times and at times 5%w/w.
At the moment I have developed ganglion cyst on my right leg around the knee area but in the muscle and not in the joint awaiting surgeons assessment for an opp but quite painful and taking cocodamol for killing painful x 3times a day.
Please advice me on what I can do.
Many thanks
Molly
Your case is indeed very complicated and I regret that I cannot help you at my advanced age of 92 as I am now on the retired list.
Good afternoon Doctor,
I am writing to you for my 14 month old daughter.
1. She had reflux and has had it since birth up to now if she coughs just after eating she regurgitates most of her food uncontrollably. Doctors put her on gaviscon as a baby but we took her off it as we didn’t like the side effects it was giving her. We ended up giving her thickened formula milk until we
2. She had Covid in 2020 then 2 months later she started to have a wet cough. They said she has Protracted Bacterial Bronchitis and started her on antibiotics for 6 weeks. She is on Co-Amoxiclav antibiotic and is still soundly bubbly in her upper chest . It sounds like upper airways bubbliness in her breathing.
She was given an inhaler when she 1st started coughing. It only helped for 2 weeks but didn’t.
She has hayfever where she used to constantly scratch her nose even while sleeping. She used to sneeze a lot as well. The Paediatrician started her on Benadryl 2.5mls twice a day an Antihistamine. This seemed to help as she no longer has the same symptoms but I am wondering if i need to change her diet to keep hayfever at bay.
Thank you
Babies are reputed not to be affected by the Virus but in her case, she contracted it very early in life.
You can use Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200cd in the Wet dose taken thrice daily and observe and report her response in a week.
You will continue the antibiotic and I hope that her Bronchitis will respond to my therapy and enable her not to use the inhaler which is loaded with steroids. Stop the Benadryl.
Her Hayfever should respond to my therapy aka “Joepathy”.
